Sicily is one of Italy's most beautiful jewels, with dazzling Palermo at its heart. The capital, with its Byzantine, Roman, Arab, Norman and Prussian influences, has a very special charm. Music lovers will be familiar with the famous Teatro Massimo, one of Europe's greatest theaters and well worth a visit in its own right.
A very big event will take place during this stay, as the artistic director of the sublime Teatro Massimo conducts Wagner's masterpiece Tristan und Isolde, with a dream cast including the grandiose Nina Stemme. The day before, a Beethoven concert by the Sicilian institution's young orchestra will delight music lovers.
A visit to Palermo's historic center is part of this exemplary tour, allowing visitors to discover and admire the Sicilian capital. A second discovery is the village of Monreale, with its imposing Cathedral, a testimony to the island's heritage...
